The Philippine economy is expected to improve, reinforcing its status as one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia. The Philippines remains an attractive country in which to do business due to relatively low labor costs and largely bilingual workforce.
The Guide to Philippine Employment Laws for the Private Sectors is intended to provide employers and human resources professionals with a comprehensive overview of the key aspects of Philippine labor law. It covers the entire life cycle of the employment relationship from hiring through to termination, with information on working terms and conditions, family rights, personnel policies, workplace safety and discrimination. The guide links to our global handbooks, which include information for the Philippines on immigration and data privacy. The guide also contains information on the employment implications of share and asset sales.
